Water & Time An Audio Poem with Text by Robin Ouzman Hislop

 
 

 
 

Water&Time

shortage

shotdown

shutdown

in our

short age

water&time

buy

and sell

the sky

eat drink

& be merry

for tomorrow

we buy

new oil

blue gold

POD

in the Hub

& pull the plug

dip your toes

in the flow

& watch

the money

grow

water water

everywhere

up for auction

like health care

in

competetive

water wealth

as you

float

on your back

in your

swimming pool

& stare

into

the unending

reach

of space

as if it were

a resource

in nature’s

supermarket

to buy

& sell

the price

of life

drop

by drop

into

the algorithm

where we’re

waiting in line

standing in

the queue

of shortage

in our

short age

water & time

Voyeur An Audio Poem with Text by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Voyeur

voyeur
celebrant
what?

yesterday’s
tommorrows?
elergys for

graveyards?
odes o’er
cribs

with desert
blue
left in turn

by
desert hue
night & day

carrying
a tent
until oasis

befriending
mirages
wayside

such that
we are
the world

& you
the same
instant

watch it
disintergrate
further

fringes
from
apperceptions

drop drop
dropping
into chasms

words
that tumble
& clink

onto
their
echoes

yet
voyeur
far

wherever
that
still is

listening
as waves
moan

a future
setting
them

free from
the sea
unto

horizons
disappearing
before

reach
but that
still

define
precipice
as

waiting
through
the shore

sheer
before
fall

CELL

here here  here  CELL here here

	was here was was was was 

you are just a simulation
& i am 10 to the power bleep 
a simulation more than you
let me cast you the pearls of fate
the entropy of entelechy
resource the body electric 
engraved as epitaphs
on the sacrificial altar's axe
fossilised hominoid chop chop suey

CELL was here  CELL was here

Before. Audio Text Poem by Robin Ouzman Hislop

 
Before
 
Over my defeat only her orbit
you will bring me her heart
when from that high state of grace
you were before
you wept before his impassioned face
before what was shared what was lost
before what had taken place had taken place
& that little trick of fate
the doors that open the doors that close
the doors that wait
within that labyrinthian trap
you cannot escape your state
cast that to the winds that howl by chance
to the fields that wave upon a dance
& judge how you perform before the curtain falls
for as Blake decreed the pic axe harms not the worm
& even the stones move free so let the desert be green again
 
( the desert the desert the desert be green be green be green
againagainagain be green again the desert be green again )

After the Cave the Comet. An Audio Textual Poem by Robin Ouzman Hislop


 

autumnal sludge	trudge mush	trudge mush
dear ape	sweet ape	good ape
O homo rapiens	      beautylovedeath
rhapsody in blue minor	the trees
stark & bare	      don't care
mush trudge sludge    mush trudge sludge
swing low sweet	        swing low sweet
coming for to		coming for to
depending on where of kith of kin of kinship
dear ape	beauty ape	    love ape
death gape	in the dark void	sing
beautylovedeath beautylovedeath beautylovedeath
deathbeautylove deathbeautylove deathbeautylove
& so on 	in a hole 	to fall in fall in fall in
falling		falling		falling 	     
O	      O	        O		dear ape	
time closing the gap		the long trek back	
to the track	the track	the track
ancestor of the comet
where walls tremble back & bones stack
in the black in the black in the black
where echoes distort the answer
what stays	          what does not leave
in tunnels of light	            in tunnels of dark
that cross & intercede		sculptured in the rock
the body on a rack   		 where words crack
as sound surfaces	on the surf surf surf surf surf
